Thursday 9 March 2006 14:15-15:00 (Radio 4 FM)
By Gerry Jones. A new production of the play which was first broadcast in 1979. The award-winning dramatist died last year.
Two men enter a nightmare world, trapped in a seemingly endless sequence of events.
A traveller, suffering from amnesia, checks into a hotel. But it is like no other.... the staff are evasive; and no-one will tell him where he is. The conversations he has are odd, too; is it his imagination, or has he heard them already? After a while he decides to leave the building, to get his bearings, but each attempt leads him back to his room, and the same conversation he had ten minutes ago....
Paul ...... Michael Maloney
Carter ...... Anton Lesser
Porter ...... Andy Taylor
Mother ...... Helena Breck
Manager ...... Kim Wall
Ann ...... Teresa Gallagher
Doctor ...... Geoffrey Beevers

My thanks to Katy for this version.
One of the best plays ever written for radio -a traveller, suffering from amnesia, checks into a hotel. But it is like no other.... the staff are evasive; and no-one will tell him where he is. The conversations he has are odd, too; is it his imagination, or has he heard them already? After a while he decides to leave the building, to get his bearings, but each attempt leads him back to his room, and the same conversation he had ten minutes ago....
